Answer:

False

Explanation:

Succession is the series of gradual changes that occur in an ecological community over a particular period of time. Ecological succession is of two types;

1) Primary succession, in which a newly exposed or newly formed rock surface is colonized by living organisms for the very first time. The surface is barrren before colonization and there is absence of soil at the starting of the process.

2) Secondary succession, where a previously occupied area becomes recolonised by other living organism. The recolonization is usually due to environmental disturbances e.g. deforestation, flood, earthquake etc. that must have wiped out the previously existing species. In this case, SOIL is already present which makes it easier for recolonization to occur.

Answer:

High Temperature, X-rays, Radiation, Some Chemicals

Explanation:

In general, mutations happen due to some error in the DNA duplication process, however, there are certain factors in the environment that can increase the incidence rate of these genetic errors. Excessive exposure to x-rays, substances present in smoke, ultraviolet light, excessive temperature, nitrous acid and some dyes present in food, for example, can favor the appearance of mutations. In general, we can say that mutations can be caused by high temperature, X-rays, radiation, some chemicals.

Which of the following is the average height of the ocean’s surface between high and low tides?

Oxana [17]

The average height of the oceans surface between high and low tides is called the sea level. It is important to know this measurement because with this it is possible that we can calculate the height of anything on the land. Also, we can calculate the height of anything on the land. Also, we can be able to determine whether the oceans are falling or rising through time.

So the answer is Sea level

The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 299,500,000 meters per second. In scientific notation, we can write this number

Nonamiya [84]

In scientific notation, the value of the speed of light in a vacuum
will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. When this value is represented in the form of
a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.
The value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. In this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
